Snowpack

Instability Comment
<p>We saw alot of transport and flagging occuring today and with more winds forcasted I would expect wind deposits to continue to build. </p> <p>The November Facet Layer is still present in the snowpack, and although in our pit today we didn't get any results poor structure is still present. I am currenlty waiting to see how the snowpack reacts with new loading events in the forecast, before I begin to trust it. </p>

Wind effected snow was present for us today, with shallow wind boards begining to build.
